 [Wang, Yipeng] Since it has not been linked and later on the linking is protected by
release, do we really need atomic store here?

[Wang, Yipeng] Is there chance that a key_slot may already have one previous ext_bkt
and now got overwritten, so that the previous one gone forever?

[Wang, Yipeng] I think you need to check the version counter before return,
and how about the fence?

[Wang, Yipeng] I am thinking if this breaks the "guarantee" provided by ext table, Since
a whole bucket could not be reused if one key not freed. Is there any fundamental issue with
a new API to recycle ext bucket or you just do not want to add a new API?
